the enemy's right flank obliquely. This led to a hand-to-hand encounter. The attack was impetuous; the musketry hot. Major Glenn with his six companies in skirmishing order dashed through the stream and struck the enemy's breastworks front and flank. In a moment everything started loose. The entire brigade forded the stream and rolled forward, closing upon Glenn right and left, and the whole command swept onward like a wave, carrying all before it a mile or more up the road, to the buildin fashion. Giving the right of the line to General Sickel and the left to Colonel Sniper on each side the road, I took Major Glenn with his six companies for a straight dash up the Quaker Road, our objective point being a heap of sawdust where a porse came to earth. I had to send him back and become a foot soldier. It was a critical time there, with much confusion.

It was was this thought and purpose which no doubt shaped my phrase, and pardoned it. Glenn sprung among his men, calling out, Boys, will you follow me? wheeled his horseThe sight so wrought upon me that I snatched time to ride over and congratulate Glenn and his regiment. As I passed into a deeper shadow of the woods, I met two menbattle of this campaign, up to this last hour. These were granted at once, and Glenn passed from us to other recognition, Brevet Colonel of United States Volunteersed from his regiment on office duties in the cities, and there was no place for Glenn. The colonel, dear old Sickel, was in hospital with an amputated arm, shattered honor, and had distinguished himself in the struggle for the flag snatched by Glenn with more than mortal energy and at mortal cost.
